Siheyuan: The prosperous era starting from being a doctor

Chapter 455 Sustainable Development and AIDS
Come out from the higher authorities.

President Lu and Wang Mengde got into the car.

on the way back.

Dean Lu said:
“Comrade Wang Mengde, I see that the leaders are very interested in the assessment plan you just mentioned.

It is true that more than ten years have passed, and there should be some regulations and assessments. Otherwise, if it continues to develop like this, the problems will be too deep and it will be difficult to deal with in the future. "

“Yes, my idea is that we should take advantage of this opportunity to complete the medical reform. The assessment is not only to find problems, but also to discover talents.

At the same time, it also allows barefoot doctors in rural areas to survive the fittest.

At present, a large number of educated young people are going to rural and mountainous areas. They have knowledge, brains and learning ability, and they are very good candidates for studying medicine.

If we can discover talents during the assessment process and then focus on training them, they will become famous doctors in the region in 10 to 20 years.”

Wang Mengde also expressed his thoughts.

Just now in the reception room of the superior department, he did not tell the reason.

There is naturally no need to hide it from President Lu.

"Yes, your idea is indeed very good. There are a large number of educated young people in rural areas. They may not be good at farming, but they are more suitable for studying medicine than most people in rural areas.

In this way, everyone can do their own job and let everyone do what they are good at. "

Dean Lu said in agreement.

At present, after more than a year, a large number of urban educated young people have gone to rural areas.

They were all assigned to production teams in various communes, working with the farmers to earn work points.

Due to the lack of experience in farming, many young people were not able to adapt and were held back a lot.

If they can study medicine, it will not only solve the problem of applicability, but also bring fresh strength to the barefoot doctor group.

It's completely a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

In the original history, many outstanding barefoot doctors in rural areas grew up from these young people.

"By the way, the superiors just proposed to build a number of medical device factories within five years to produce disposable medical devices such as plastic syringes and needles.

I don’t know if investing so much money will affect future funding for traditional Chinese medicine.”

Dean Lu said with some concern.

Regarding the issue of medical device infection raised by Wang Mengde.

In addition to long-term standardized medical ethics and regular assessments, the most fundamental problems also need to be addressed.

That is the reuse of medical devices, especially needles for injection into the human body.

of course.

Syringes are also a big problem. After all, if many medicines are mixed together, accidents can easily occur.

There are also some disposable medical gloves, disposable infusion sets, gauze, bandages, etc., which also have to be produced.

therefore.

The nationwide promotion of disposable medical devices such as syringes is an urgent task.

In fact, if it were the original history, even if the country wanted to change it, it would be powerless.

After all, disposable medical devices not only consume a lot of money and materials, but also cause waste and pollution.

But now it's different.

The foreign exchange income of more than one billion US dollars each year gives the country more confidence to do many things that it did not dare to do before.

Moreover.

The goal of the health department this year is to earn US$2 billion in foreign exchange.

Just one tenth of this huge amount of money would be enough to produce disposable medical devices.

If it's not enough, then just release 200 more 'Rejuvenation Pills' every month.

"Dean, don't worry about this.

I see from the superiors that the financial expenditures that have been planned in advance will not be easily changed.

I guess they applied for special funding support from above. In recent years, the government has set aside a portion of funds every year to allow various industries to compete. "

Wang Mengde comforted him.

President Lu is completely concerned and confused.

Traditional Chinese medicine currently has an unshakable position in the minds of both superiors and officials.

Unless there are special circumstances, the funds originally allocated for the development of traditional Chinese medicine will not be used.

The people above understand the principle of drinking poison to quench thirst better than anyone else.

Only by continuously developing traditional Chinese medicine and then exporting more Chinese patent medicines to earn foreign exchange and feed back into domestic finances to form a virtuous circle can sustainable development be the hard truth.

"That's good, our traditional Chinese medicine is currently developing at a good momentum.

Medical schools are recruiting a large number of students, and the number of graduate students has exceeded one thousand.

As long as it continues to develop like this, I really can’t imagine what the grand occasion will be like in another 20 years.”

Dean Lu felt relieved after hearing his words, and then said with emotion.

Although he advocates the integration of Chinese and Western medicine, his roots are still in traditional Chinese medicine.

Therefore, what I am still concerned about is the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

"Twenty years from now, Chinese medicine will surely be many times more prosperous than it is now, and I think it will even be exported abroad."

Wang Mengde smiled and said.

At that time, it was just the early 1990s and he was only in his fifties. It was the time for him to show his talents.

"hope so!"

a few days later.

Before the end of the first month of the lunar year, two old friends from the World Health Organization, Thomas and Carter, came again.

As soon as they met, both of them were ready to give Wang Mengde a big hug.

Smelling the strong scent of perfume on the two people, Wang Mengde cleverly avoided a hug and shook hands with them instead.

"Oh, dear Mr. Wang Mengde, it's a pleasure to see you again."

Thomas said excitedly.

He was previously a director of the World Health Organization, and later gained great fame for promoting China's medical and health system in Africa.

In particular, China organizes two to three medical volunteer teams every year to provide hands-on teaching in certain countries in Africa.

At the same time, activities such as epidemic prevention and disease treatment are also carried out.

It can be said that this gave him a lot of political capital.

Although the achievements in teaching are not remarkable, it has been several years and the teaching has been repeated over and over again, and the assessment standards have been lowered again and again.

Still not many students can meet the graduation standards.

But none of this matters.

What’s important is that Mr. Thomas’s name is very famous among certain groups.

Its status has also improved somewhat within the World Health Organization.

and so.

This time when coming to China, he was eager to lead the team.

"Mr. Thomas, Mr. Carter, nice to meet you."

Wang Mengde also replied politely.

These two are old acquaintances.

When I came to China before, he was the one who received me.

We are more familiar with each other.

"Mr. Wang Mengde, the conditions of the patients who came with us this time are very strange.

Persistent fever, accompanied by sore throat, cold sweats while sleeping, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, skin rashes, joint pain, lumps in the neck or armpits (swollen lymph nodes), etc.

We suspect it is a sequelae of pneumonia, but many experts have different opinions, thinking it may be a new disease. But they don't know how it is formed, and they don't have a solution, so they came here for you to take a look. "

Arrived in the meeting room.

Thomas briefly explained the purpose of his trip.

of course.

Wang Mengde had already learned about the patient's symptoms he just mentioned through documents.

He checked the information in his space and found out that this disease was the famous AIDS that made people turn pale with fear in later generations.

In the original history.

The earliest AIDS virus sample was actually extracted from a patient in an African country in 59.

However, due to the medical conditions at the time, it was impossible to figure out what it was.

At that time, the medical community had not yet realized that this was a new virus.

It was not until 81 that the mystery began to be gradually revealed.

"Mr. Thomas, in order to prevent the patients' illness from being contagious, we must isolate them to a certain extent. Is that okay?"

Wang Mengde confirmed first.

AIDS can be transmitted through blood, mother-to-child transmission, and sex.

But we must also guard against other situations.

Who knows if what they are carrying is the AIDS from their previous lives.

Once a special situation occurs, it will be too late.

Wang Mengde would not take risks for outsiders.

"Mr. Wang Mengde, before coming to China, the relevant staff of your country told us about this.

We recognize and fully agree with this request. After all, once the disease is transmitted, it is out of control.

Don't worry, a certain degree of isolation is necessary to treat the disease and clarify the condition."

Trust said seriously.

He was also shocked when the Chinese staff told him that it might be contagious.

Fortunately, as a medical worker, I still maintain my usual vigilance and did not have any direct or indirect contact with patients during those days.

Otherwise, he would definitely be suspicious.

“That’s fine.

By the way, there is one more thing. For everyone’s safety, the testing and treatment of these patients need to be carried out in a secret environment.

Therefore, we can only visit these patients regularly in the future. "

Wang Mengde said it again.

He plans to send these patients to the Human Genome Project Institute for testing.

Not only does it have the best testing equipment in China, it also has the best genetic talent.

As long as we follow his guidance, we should be able to find the problem soon.

And there are too many secrets at the Human Genome Project Institute.

It certainly cannot be opened to people from the WHO.

Who knows if there are any American spies here?

Even Thomas and Wang Mengde didn't believe it.

"this..."

Thomas looked at the others with an embarrassed look on his face.

When we came here, some of the people who traveled with us wanted to join in.

If it was kept secret, they would definitely not be able to participate.

Carter, as another old acquaintance, spoke on behalf of several other people and said, “Mr. Wang Mengde, our WHO experts also hope to participate and contribute.

After all, we have been researching for a long time and have achieved some results. This will definitely be of great help to your subsequent testing and treatment. See..."

He and Thomas were certainly not spies.

But among the team members who came along this time, there were two unfamiliar faces.

It goes without saying that these two people were definitely sent in by America to gather some useful information.

Even the staff of the World Health Organization have to bow down to the most powerful country in the world.

"Mr. Carter, I appreciate your kindness.

But our testing method is different from yours, so we won’t bother you.”

Wang Mengde had a smile on his face, but what he said was unquestionable.

The relevant national departments have already investigated the conditions of those patients.

It is true that ordinary people in Africa do not have the ability to obtain information.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about any secrets being leaked from the Human Genome Project Institute.

But among these people in the WHO, there must be Americans. These people are professional spies and they may leak secrets at the slightest clue.

Seeing his firm attitude, Thomas and Carter had no choice but to spread their hands, shook their heads and no longer insist.

Now that they are in China, they can only follow the local customs.

After a brief meeting and chat for less than an hour, everyone walked out of the meeting room.

Thomas and his companions could only wait at the place where the foreign guests were staying.

Wang Mengde, on the other hand, was preparing to go to the Human Genome Project Institute to take a look at the conditions of those patients and give some guidance to everyone.

At the research institute.

Lei Ze was in the laboratory, concentrating on doing experiments.

He is an elite in genetics who returned from abroad a few years ago. He was assigned to the institute as a technical backbone for this human genome project.

Since we arrived here, we have lived up to everyone's expectations and, under the guidance of Wang Mengde, we have achieved results in the field of genetic autophagy.

Ten minutes later.

Lei Ze finally let out a long breath, and then said to his assistants with a tired face:

“In half an hour, you will start collecting data.

Be careful, be accurate, and don't make any mistakes, otherwise all the efforts of the past ten days of experiment will be wasted."

After finishing the instructions, he came out of the laboratory and prepared to go to the cafeteria to have a meal.

After walking a few steps, I met a few people in front of me.

"Comrade Lei Ze, did you stay up all night again yesterday?
Oh, I have told you a long time ago that you must take care of your health. Work cannot be completed in one day. You must focus on combining work and rest.

After all, the body is the capital of GM! "

Wang Mengde spoke up when he saw the big dark circles under his eyes and his tired look.

"Director Wang, you are here. I just happen to have something to report to you. I also have a few questions to ask you."

Lei Ze did not take Wang Mengde's "complaint" to heart. His eyes lit up and he spoke hurriedly.

As a workaholic, in his world, research and experiments have become the most important things in life.

"No hurry, you must have missed breakfast. It's almost noon now. Let's have a meal together and have a brief chat. Then you can rest for two hours in the afternoon."

Wang Mengdra pulled his arm, and then walked towards the cafeteria of the institute without saying anything.

After arriving at the cafeteria and getting my food.

We found a corner and sat down to eat and chat.

"Director Wang, I have already completed the experiment using the method you told me last time.

The results of the experiment are exactly the same as what you said. This time, our experimental results will definitely shock the world."

Lei Ze said excitedly while eating with big mouthfuls of food.
